# Loading and Saving Settings

## <span class="mw-headline" id="bkmrk-loading-settings-0">Loading Settings</span>

The **File / Load** menu option brings up a file dialog, which lets you select a settings file to load. Settings files always have a **.rjs** extension.

## <span class="mw-headline" id="bkmrk-saving-settings-0">Saving Settings</span>

The **File / Save** menu option saves the currently loaded file. If no file has been loaded, a file dialog pops up, asking you to name the file.

The **File / Save As** menu option brings up a file dialog where you can choose to save the settings under a new file name.

The required **.rjs** extension will automatically be appended to the filename.

## <span class="mw-headline" id="bkmrk-exporting-settings-0">Exporting Settings</span>

The **File / Export** menu option brings up a dialog that allows you to save a portion of your settings. This is useful if you need to move certain presets, sysex messages, macros, etc. to another device.

Use the checkboxes to select which items you wish to write to the file, and set the upper and lower numbers to be transferred (if applicable). Once you click OK, you will be prompted for a filename where the settings will be saved.

When you load an exported file, it will overwrite only the data that you specified when exporting the file. For example, you can copy the presets from one configuration to another by doing this:

1. Load the file that has the presets you want to copy
2. Use the **Export** option to save only the presets
3. Load the file where you want the presets to be copied
4. Load the file exported in step 2

This will overwrite only the presets in the original file with the new preset list.
